The transmission will need to be torn down to the input planet to get the output shaft out. A good trans tech can do this in 45 minutes

Parts you need...
2wd output shaft with a VSS reluctor.
2wd extention housing.
VSS sensor & bolt.

The 4x4 trans is worth more maybe you could do a trade for a 2wd one and some cash.
